Case Study: Standard Life achieves ROI in 10 days and near‑real‑time broker insights with QlikView

Standard Life Gets ROI from QlikView in Just 10 Days

Standard Life (Asia) Limited, the Hong Kong subsidiary of the Standard Life Group, provides investment-linked insurance and partners with financial advisers while operating with a compact core team of about 100 staff. The company struggled with laborious, inconsistent Excel-based reporting from SQL Server extracts and needed faster, reliable, near‑real‑time management information to monitor broker persistency, reduce IT burden, and improve decision-making.

Working with QlikView partner Velocity Business Solutions, Standard Life deployed a broker persistency application in six days and delivered two business‑critical apps within 10 days. The QlikView solution provided a single version of the truth, sped up reporting and meetings so they focus on action rather than data disputes, improved customer satisfaction, proved scalable for wider rollout, and delivered rapid financial payback—headline ROI in 10 days and a full return on the initial investment within three months.
